Your party is chilling out at a local village...

You're on an anime image board, kid.

STOMP AND SQUIEESH

I have other non anime heavy armor

this was just at the top

>dwarves are hardcore!!!

When WILL they learn?

or how about this?

What a cute little reaver

I've never understood why people like Dwarfs.

What's so cool about playing a forge loving midget. Is it some manlet fetish?

their just cool user

I rape the goblins.

Not really

and I respect your opinion

We kill the goblins right back.

What's their tax policy?

People can understand at some level that a character that is obviously a power fantasy is pathetic. And playing something that you're personally attracted to pretty creepy for everyone else around you too. So one solution is to play something that's a kind of gross caricature. It's almost no one's ideal that they want to be or be with, so it's sort of safe.

That's probably the dumbest shit I've ever heard, and I cut my teeth on /b/ a decade ago, so I've heard some dumb shit.

We use superior tactics to outmatch the goblins.

We track those that flee back to their nests.

We burn them out.

We fuck their women, we conquer their people, we lay waste to their existence and put aplenty of them up in spears around our town so if any goblins ever dare come again they'll Know what awaits them.

And if they're stupid enough to try anyway, a forest of steel and blood will become our new landmark.

RPGs were a mistake.

"Oh boy, more specimens for my collection!"

Playing a Mad Science Alchemist next Pathfinder game.

>peasants

Help them.

No! Don't kill those poor, innocent birds-

Oh wait, nevermind.

Literally our job.

>high enough fighter with whirlwind
>you spin me round starts playing
I've been waiting for this moment.

I'd probably get dizzy.

With great exuberance.

I was running low on fresh materials.

>You're on an anime image board, kid.
Pretty sure this is the traditional games image board, amiga.

...

No, this is a board for anime fans to talk about board games and tabletop rpgs, not board game and ttrpg board.

Slight difference.

>moot
who?

BY WAITIN' FOR DA UVVA BOYZ T' SHOW UP, CUZ A BUNCH 'O GROTZ CHARGIN' ALONE IZ ROIGHT SILLY!

What is this from? Is there more?

>Losing a border war to racially inferior animals

How do you lose to monsters who could be defeated with a shoulder-height fence?

>Sorceror twincasts haste
>Ranged Fighter/Ranger multi fires two shots off
>Other sorceror twincasts firebolt
>Sword and board Fighter goes 3 attacks and saves superiority dice
>Cleric pumps out spiritual weapon and a 1-minute aura/AOE
>Barbarian just smashes
Rinse and repeat. Sometimes, if a group of enemies surrounds someone, the first sorceror will just shoot a fireball at the person and get the aoe damage.

DM hates you & loves them.

what's this from?

everyone but the Goblin Slayer is an idiot

Goblin Slayer himself isn't the smartest, he's just autistic & lucky.

Time to slaughter

Goblin Slayer! side story: YEAR ONE

right there in the picture user

I have two more pages

Every attempt to locate more has failed

...

Are you an /a/nimal?

Not everyone can read moon runes

I go full edgelord and refuse to help them.

neither can I

it's right there starting in the panel with the severed head

Been reading Goblin Slayer since this thread revelaed it to me.

How would you use modern arms and armor to effectively combat the goblins of Goblin Slayer's world?

Alright guys of Veeky Forums, there's this weird guy on /a/ who I think isn't making any sense. Can you guys assess if he's right or not? I can't understand what this dude is saying. I'm not asking for anything but a rundown if it's right or not.

My kenku rogue would sneak around, picking goblins off one by one, preferably the ones that are leaders. And help any villagers she finds hide or get to safety, if she can. Her magic doesn't do much good against groups, but she'd do what she could.

Following up, I think the guy's gone crazy but if he's actually right, please tell me.
All I'm asking for is just some advice if he's saying the right or wrong stuff.

Crucify them as a warning to future Gobbos.

Jesus kid.
Just wait and your voice will stop cracking and your balls will fully drop and puberty will finally end, you don't need to try and speed the process up by proving what an edgy cooldude you are, it just looks like you're trying to hard to be "grown up".

I slay the goblins, I suppose?
I dunno, I'm playing a Paladin. What else do you want me to do? Chances are the village is paying me to do it in the first place.

You don't need anything beyond the in universe technology. Those gobs can't even make babies without other races.

Kill all the goblins. Looks like I'll have my twenty goblin heads for the twenty goblin winter in a jiffy and become a proper samurai again!

Inform my party it is time for us to depart and then nuke the village with my questionably strong powers and pretend the village never existed in the first place

I know. Just suppose for a sec.

If youre using fantasy rpg arms and armor, light-medium armor along with a buckler and short melee weapon of some kind to be able to properly fight in the tight quarters of Goblin Dens.

Say these goblins existed in a modern setting. How would you have to go in to clear em out?

My curiosity must be sated.

(Also just finished the chapter after GS and all the adventurers wiped the goblin hoard this manga rocks)

I recommend something better. Try berserk.

Let me see if I'm reading this correctly

>You need to go into extreme CQB with lots of small hostiles that have pointy sticks
>You need to kill everything

Honestly, just flyover with an IR camera on a chopper, or even a weather balloon (So they can't see and hide from it) for a few days to identify all of the entrances. Once you've established all of those, call in your national guard analogues to kill off everything around the top of each one and then have the engineer corps seal them off, start a fire at the last one to suffocate them or gas them out with tear gas. Then kill them as they emerge, probably mow them down with GPMGs.

>You have to go in and kill them manually mode

Riot gear. As much riot gear as you can get, chainmail gear if you can get it, it's the closest modern analogue to melee armor and it's designed to stop clubs and pointy sticks from hurting you.

Probably machine pistols with extended magazines for your armarments, or small PDWs/SMGs. Goblins are small enough that you don't need to be toting intermediate rounds to kill them, pistol rounds through relatively long barrels should do the job. If you must have intermediates because the little buggers are tougher than they look, then you want either really short ARs like the M4 or bullpup things. Maneuverability is of utmost importance.

And then since you'll have trouble maneuvering a proper riot shield down there, you probably want as close to a buckler as you can get. I'm thinking sort of an oblong, rounded shield that covers most of the forearm and is perhaps a food or a foot and a half wide - made out of kydex like riot shields are and strapped on properly. Just enough that you can put something between the goblin's swing and your torso or head when he gets the jump on you, and then give him a few new breathing holes with your shoota.

con'd

Conduct the aforementioned identification of entrances, but just set up killing zones at each one rather than trying to block them off. There's a vanguard of doorkickers in all of this gear that goes down and methodically clears a beachhead; they move in tight knit squads and always stay within sight of one another. Focus on clearing the room and then killing until the rest of the goblin reinforcements break and run, then hold it until the backup arrives.

Behind them come engineers with portable barracades, to keep the little bastards from getting in around behind you and trying to trap you. Just methodically work your way through the entire thing, mapping it thoroughly at every juncture. They'll either run into your guns and bullets or try to flee and re-enact the Somme, but at least that way your ground pounders are taking less risk than if you'd capped the holes properly and they have to go shoot every last one personally.

Cast invisibility and have a wank while watching the fine maiden getting raped and tortured.

Right, and I forgot to mention. Gas masks and CS gas are standard issue for everyone here, to keep the little shits as off kilter as possible. And flashbangs as well, although that may get a little pricy.

Ideally, your guys are more executioners than warriors and can just flashbang the little shits and then walk in and efficiently cap each one while they're all writhing on the ground clutching their ruptured ear drums.

Riots have equipped us well here because they have forced the development of technology designed to give you a force multiplier when your opponents vastly outnumber you and you can't just shoot them, and all your opponents have to fight you with are clubs and sharp sticks and bricks. A lot of the stuff there transfers over to this well.

>I've never understood why people like Dwarfs.
>What's so cool about playing a forge loving midget?
I like dwarves.
So, I just asked myself why.
This is what I came up with off the top of my head:
1. Gimli is cool. Deal with it.
2. I like the brawling, Khelgar Ironfist, Scottish archetype often used in place of actual characterization. It's not for everyone, but I like it.
3. They personify aspects of manliness, isolated and refined separate from other qualities of humanity.
They fight, they drink, they are durable, they are stubborn, they are heavily bearded, they are proud, they triumph in battle despite being smaller, and they create with manly fire, stone, and metal.

Also, in my setting, dwarves are not just midgets but closer to mole-men.

Now, there is a lot of shit the goblins can do to make life very dificult for the invaders if they want to - just ask any of the participants of the Vietnam war.

This includes everything from flooded tunnel section water traps to get lost and drown in, to vertical climbs and narrow passages that give whoever's at the other end free reign to kill the poor bastard crawling through, to poisonous wildlife tethered to tripwires. Hiding behind thin mud walls in compartments to hit people from behind after they've passed, spike pits, false cave endings hidden behind earth disguised doors...

There are a great many possibllities, and they are beyond my ability to properly address as I do not have a lot of expertise as a tunnel rat.

However, I believe most of them could likely be dealt with by sealing them off and then bringing in specialists after you've swept most of the hostiles out and have the place relatively secured. Be it cave divers or water pumps for the water sections, or proper diggers for the narrow passages...

Their dangers can be mitigated to some degree, but if the fuckers are crafty then you're still in a lot of danger.

It amazes me that no one has drawn the "Tucker's Kobolds" comparison yet.

join in and kill some peasants

Its rather simple really, Whatever happens, we have got the maxim gun and they have not.

>Find the leader or champion of the goblins, and challenge them to one on one combat to decide rule the rest of the goblins. Once victorious, the goblins will challenge you to one on one combat, while you are weakened from combat, to decide rule the rest of the goblins. They will continue until victorious, the goblins will not make you leader, as goblins always follow whoever is stronger than them, but have no respect for non-goblins, unless there are only stupid, cowardly goblins left.
FTFY

Pretty much. They'll just run.
